I need a full dose of Simon Cowell

This week's judging was the dumbest ever. Having them vote in pairs? Stupid. Not having Simon judge half them? Really, really stupid. The other three are interchangable for all I care, but Simon knows what he is talking about. And "fans" in the arena can boo them all he wants when he disses a contestant, but just look at the E!Online poll:
Which judge can you do without?
Kara DioGuardi, 44.3 percent
Paula Abdul, 35.7 percent
Randy Jackson, 17.4 percent
Simon Cowell, 2.6 percent
What do you think? Who's your favorite judge and who is your favorite contestant to win?
By the way, I think the "save" this week was absolutely ridiculous.
